Article 956. Replacement of the beneficiary.

The insured is entitled to replace the beneficiary named in the insurance contract with another person, having notified the insurer in writing. Replacement of a beneficiary under a personal insurance contract appointed with the consent of the insured person (clause 2 of Article 934) is allowed only with the consent of this person.
The beneficiary may not be replaced by another person after he has fulfilled any of the obligations under the insurance contract or has submitted to the insurer the requirement to pay the insurance indemnity or the sum insured.
